This Ancient Tree Raw Pu’er tea is particular to Fenghuangwo Mountain, 1700m altitude Yunnan province and the tea leaves are hand picked from trees that are around 100 years old. The ancient trees are lofty giants with big leaves, grown mysteriously in the forests. Their fascinating ecological environment makes the tea itself quite rich in trace elements and adds superb depth to its aroma and taste. This area gained relatively newly fame, with its hidden geography, hours of harsh mountainous drive from the nearby city Pu'er.

Characteristic of the dry Pu'er tea leaves from Fenghuangwo is compelling aromatic and strong mountainous charm, which increases just within 1 year of storgage. The tea soup's aroma is somewhat calm, the aroma of the cup is fresh and long lasting. Sipping it slowly, one notices the aroma lingers on one's tongue and teeth, with hints of wild floral taste, and the elegance of rogue power. The mouthfeel starts from light to intense. The fourth brew on becomes increasingly interesting. The brews afterwards have consistent mouthfeel: mellow, sweet, rounded, the water is dense, thick and slippery and fresh. After 15s, one feels the sweet aftertaste at the side of the mouth on the throat, a very pleasant experience. This aftertaste can linger on for 1-1.5 hours.

This Pu’er tea is made entirely from the very first spring harvest, a plucking known as “First Flush”. It is regarded as yielding the finest quality among all four seasons, as the long winter allows high levels of glutamine and theanine to accumulate in the roots. It is one of the most rare and precious teas in our collection. Unfortunately, its scarcity is likely only to rise in the future, with climate change increasingly making itself felt in the region through frequent droughts.

Similar to other White Tea and Pu’er Tea, this Pu'er tea endures a post fermenting process that can go on for decades. Thus, if stored in appropriate condition, this tea could enhance in flavour and value over time.

The production process of Raw Pu’er is similar to that of green tea, except that with raw Pu’er it takes place at a much lower temperature. Stirred for fixation at a temperature of 85°C, the leaves attain a prominent aroma, which is subsequently locked in by the farmers, as they roll the leaves lightly by hand and lay them out to dry in the sun.
